| Be thankful he didn't eat Joel! (JK) You'll have to find a less calorie dense food so he can eat the same amount but less calories, and/or step up his exercise (not to include chasing and eating birds, lol)(chasing=yes, eating=no as this will add calories), and maybe add more fiber (not feathers) to help him feel full.

| Lol we always joke that when he's hungry to keep Joel away, haha. He eats about 6 cups of his dry food a day and if I go a tiny bit less he's "starving". I wish he would eat some veggies but the old man is so stubborn he won't touch them, and when he gets hungry he gets things on the counters, the table, and the garbage. The only healthy thing he eats is apples so he gets one every night |

YT 2000 Club Member | I am sorry, but this made me laugh. One day Jasmine, who I think is part goat because she too will eat anything, proudly strutted into the den with a cardinal (bird) in her mouth....Ugh. She has also killed two moles, a couple of garter snakes, three baby bunnies from a nest in our yard (it was horrible) and some lizards. She is free fed, so she is NOT hungry, just a critter killer.

YT 2000 Club Member | Sometimes in the spring, when Jasmine comes rushing inside through the doggy dog, I do catch myself holding my breath waiting to see if she is going to present me with one of her "extra special" little presents. Yuck!

| Roscoe needed a snack! Birdies around your house had better stay high up in the air. Boy, he must be really fast to be able to catch a bird!

| I hope it was a magpie, those birds are always teasing him and swooping down at the dogs and sqawking at them so Rosco was probably annoyed and hungry! Lol |
